I am writing to request your support of H.R. 1623 - International Megan’s Law of 2009. I believe this is a very important bill and its passage into law would be beneficial to the people of the United States and to the children of the world. As criminals become more and more sophisticated in the commission of their crimes, Law Enforcement must have the means necessary to keep up with them.

It is imperative that Law Enforcement have the necessary laws and means to effectively communicate with the international community in regards to trafficking of minors and the ability to stop dangerous traffickers from entering our Country.

Please - vote for H.R. 1623 - International Megan’s Law of 2009.

Thank you,

If anyone wants to copy it and make it work for their area - please feel free.

On Tuesday, August 27, the U.S. House of Representatives passed “International Megan’s Law” to protect kids worldwide from sexual predators. Your voice was instrumental in making this happen. Over 30,000 Covenant House supporters signed our petition in favor of this legislation, and your calls to Nancy Pelosi’s office these past two weeks pushed Congress to act before the summer recess. On the House floor, the bill’s sponsor Congressman Chris Smith specifically cited the Covenant House petition campaign as one of the reasons International Megan’s Law passed in the House. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Rep. Smith expects it to pass quickly into law. We will of course keep you posted. Thank you for believing with us that children should not be bought and sold and exploited on the streets. Thank you for believing with us that it is unacceptable that more than one million of the world’s children are trafficked for labor or sexual exploitation every year, including over 20,000 in the United States. Because you made your voice heard, together we will protect more of our most vulnerable children, and bring those who buy and sell them to justice.

Saul " Mayweather vs Cotto" Alvarez was succinct when asked recently if he would want to face the winner of the May 5 matchup between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto should he get defeat Sugar Shane Mosley on the undercard.

"They are two of the best," said Alvarez, during a press conference promoting the Mayweather vs Cotto Pay Per View event on Thursday in Los Mayweather vs Cotto . "I would want to fight either one."

Alvarez, (39-0-1, 29 knockouts), who is 21, will be defending his WBC 154-pound title against Mosley (46-7-1, 39 KOs), who is 40, in the co-Mayweather vs Cottobout the main event between WBC welterweight beltholder Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) and WBA junior middleweight titleholder Cotto (37-2, 30 KOs).

If Alvarez is successful, a potential bout with Mayweather or Cotto is a distinct possibility, according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Mayweather vs Cotto Live Stream Schaefer.

"When you're a fighter, you always want to measure yourself against the best. Canelo Alvarez is no exception in that. It's amazing that he's a 21-years young fighter who is a world champion who is the most popular fighter in Mexico Mayweather vs Cotto Live, and he wants to go and test himself against the best," said Schaefer.

"Canelo is absolutely right that Mayweather and Cotto are the two best fighters in the world. So, who knows what's Canelo vs Mosley to happen? But it's certainly a match up which I think at the right time would be huge."

But when is the right time?

"Now, to speculate when the right time is, I don't think that does anybody any good," said Schaefer. "Let's just wait for what is now an amazing card on May 5 with Mayweather and Cotto and Canelo and Mosley."

ALVAREZ VS. MAYWEATHER-COTTO WINNER? SCHAEFER SAYS NOT SO FAST

Schaefer points to Mosley's success against Latino fighters, his November of 2007 unanimous decision loss to Cotto, notwithstanding, as a reason not to overlook him against Alvarez.
